    Lyrics
    So I wait my turn, I'm a modern man
    And the people behind me, they can't understand
    Makes me feel like
    Makes me feel like
    So I wait in line, I'm a modern man
    And the people behind me, they can't understand
    Makes me feel like
    Something don't feel right
    Like a record that's skipping
    I'm a modern man
    And the clock keeps ticking
    I'm a modern man
    Makes me feel like
    Makes me feel like
    In my dream I was almost there
    And you pulled me aside and said you're going nowhere
    They say we are the chosen few
    But we're wasted
    And that's why we're still waiting
    On a number from the modern man
    Maybe when you're older you will understand
    Why you don't feel right
    Why you can't sleep at night now
    In line for a number but you don't understand
    Like a modern man
    In line for a number but you don't understand
    Like a modern man
    Oh I had a dream, I was dreaming
    And I feel I'm losing the feeling
    Makes me feel like
    Like something don't feel right
    I erase the number of the modern man
    Want to break the mirror of the modern man

    My favorite arcade fire song. I used to play it on my way back home after spending a long night studying at the library and feeling depressed as hell. I have graduated already and I am a doctor now. Thanks Arcade Fire for making such a good music that someone like me who lives on the other side of the world could relate to and enjoy.

    this songs hits the spot, you really don't know the role of being a man when you're young, and you have to kind of figure it out on your own. The role of the modern man is not knowing where you're going or what to do. Like the songs says, “If it's so right, how come you can't sleep at night”, it's the uncertainty of being young and anxious to get to something better right away.

    When I first heard this song 10 years ago in university, I was too young and naive to understand what was being foretold. Many years later adulting I am now know familiar with that feeling, something is not right. I hope that wherever you are reading this, you gain the strength to confront it.

    24. Dallas. Working a shitty first job post-college. Having bigger dreams. Aunts and uncles are dying. Quarter-life crisis setting in. "Something don't feel right."
    10 years later. Travelled the world. Reconciled with people. Writing books. Making the best of life.

    I've loved this song for so many years. I think it's ultimately a tragedy. The end is grim acceptance. He tried to rebel against the modern man, tried to erase his number, break his mirror; but instead, he just became the modern man.

    Love this song, pretty much perfect and one of their most underrated. It continues a common theme from The Suburbs, of the corrosive impact of technology. "In line for a number but you don't understand... if it feels so right, how come you can't sleep at night". I picture the crowds on line waiting for the newest iphone, thinking it will make them happy.

  • @scrye-craft9274
    @scrye-craft9274 2 роки тому +1

    I take a more literal interpretation.
    "Dream" being either waking or not, but if "you can't sleep"...that aligns with my experience & how I feel this. I WAS "almost there" and was sabotaged quite on purpose from more than 1 angle, as was my partner, as so many have been now, a few years later. We've been aware our undoing has been mounted again and again but couldn't see just how dire would the situation overall be 'allowed to go'.
    Unspeakable.
    It's not stopping.
    I'm 50 & can see back to the 70's enough to have an idea...and always also sense what's gone wrong/going wrong ahead, at the same time quite possibly very unnecessary - as there def have been ways to stop participating/pave way/make outcomes more to our own design.
    The blurry line of those unrealized potentials cannot now be known
    & holy sh*t is it too late for so many ppl so many things.
    Looking back,
    If I could have just known 1 thing, in my youth (9 yo - teen)
    the truth that I actually had it right, had the correct pov/assessment
    what may I have done instead!??!
    But I had kids so had to (sortof) wait for them to grow up...yet that could only work to a point. I still had to make choices no one would sign up for.
    The Purpose of a System IS What It Does.
    The brilliance of Arcade Fire includes songs like this that capture the essential AND most salient aspects of what our collective human condition is like, our suffering manufactured to feed those who benefit most from it, as we somehow also refuse to grasp the whole operation.
    The music crafts an expression of the emotional levels - that I'm afraid of, while precisely naming the intellectual sides I prefer to retreat into and reside in, as if to postpone the truth of feeling and experiencing all together, in the moment, of each moment.
    I learn that lesson every time I listen to their music.
